The European car market is very different than the American one. For starters, a shit load more land... where getting charging networks right matters a lot. And fast.

>> The chargers will become a commodity in 5 years time

Would easily take the over on that if we're talking United States. No other company is remotely close to building out a nationwide fast-charging network close to Tesla.

I don't even own a Tesla nor do I think the company is a good investment, and I think Elon is FOS on a lot of things.

Charging networks and batteries aren't two of them, though.
A category of person? Being immature means you behave immature. Scolding someone for behaviour is very different than scolding them for something they can't change about them selves (e.g. like where they have been born).

Usually we also factor in age when calling someone immature. So if someone calls you immature, they mean "immature given your age", so it is certainly different from e.g. hating on all kids, teenagers or old people.

> Do you really think that the guys at VW and others can't figure it out? It just takes a while.

Probably, yes, but Tesla does have quite a head start. This is also something both professional and armchair analysts have been saying for the last decade. "The big automakers will just throw their weight around to catch up." They still haven't caught up. They probably will someday, but having the head start and the lead during an inflection point period is quite valuable.

> now they are in the driving seat in terms of numbers on the markets that are truly developed (in Norway Audi, VW and others are eating Tesla's lunch).

I mean, lets compare apples to apples. In 2020, Tesla sold ~500k EVs worldwide. Audi sold ~50k EVs. The remainder of the VW group sold about ~175k EVs. Tesla is still significantly ahead despite your characterization.

Have you ever read the Discord ToS and the partnered server community guidelines? I did read the latter the first time I used the word "retarded" in a self-deprecating manner on a partnered server and was called out for it. The rules are
written in a way that pretty much lets users say anything within the boundaries of the law, but the individual server owners and moderators can be held responsible for not moderating that content.

In essence, Discord's staff enforces a hidden layer of moderation behind the scenes. They contact server owners in private and point out individual members' faults and list exact words that are to be removed. In this way, server admins are encouraged to overmoderate due to the obvious imbalance (risk of losing an entire server vs losing a few users), yet they have to take flak from individual users.

I've seen server moderators removing completely legit messages afterwards and they've openly admitted that they can't risk someone perusing the chat history for ToS breaches, screenshotting individual lines of text and sending them to Discord abuse team, because Discord does not care about context, only actual words (see their anti-reclamation policy - even black hip-hop artists have been deplatformed for using the well known mother of all bad words in a positive context).

Dictionaries are for looking up linguistic social norms, not meaning.

That is why the meaning of “meaning” is circularly defined.
> I think languages either tend towards mutability or immutability. In Clojure for example there is much emphasis on parallelism, which reflects itself in its choices of immutable data structures and atomic updates.

Clojure with its focus on immutability and its purely functional data structures makes it much easier to write correct parallel and concurrent programs.

However, there is a subtle point: One typically wants concurrency and parallelism for one of three objectives:

1. Concurrency in servers

2. Graphical user interfaces

3. exploiting multiple cores for complex parallel computations, like number crunching

It turns out that Clojure is great for the first application, and that it works very nicely for the second one (once you bind a GUI written in, say, Swing, to Clojures promises and actors).

However it is not that great for the third area of interest. The reason is performance. For example, sequences in Clojure are always lazy, and floating point numbers passed in function arguments are often boxed. Also, it is not possible to pass even small objects by value. These things put a lot of pressure on the garbage collector.

And the result of that is that a single-threaded program which does things like massive number crunching written in Common Lisp will be faster than a parallel program written in Clojure.

This is a drawback which is rooted by the implementation.

But I still think that immutability in-the-large is the right way to go. Common Lisp libraries and Schemes are already adopting purely functional data structures, and I think this principle will become more important in the future and their possible offspring.

I think there’s a difference between using the word to target someone who is disabled and using it the way it’s used on wsb.

I also think there’s an irony in calling me “not the brightest bulb” for thinking this, which is a euphemistic way to say dumb (or even the word in question) in a way that’s more targeted than most of the forbidden word’s use on wsb.

I also don’t use “retarded” in writing either, I just don’t see as much issue with it in the wsb context.

This is great since selfhosted jitsi somehow developed into an IT support nightmare for us. Would be awesome to hear how they are doing the scaling. Our IT only offers jitsi only for max 10 ppl in a room which keeps us from using it at least in 50% of the cases. Also some users are reporting problems, so it would really be great to see a supported desktop app for all relevant platforms for those that struggle to get the browser setup right. Also native performance background effects has become something that at least could support bits of privacy in this crazy home office world ( it is not always e2ee that makes the difference).

To be fair, there's always been a lot of niche 'technologies' in vehicle propulsion - hydrogen, fuel cells, LPG, that may or may not have been the future. It's taken a leap in battery technology and worries about climate change at the same time to make EV's the 'right choice'.

It's very hard for large companies to change direction (car companies have a 100 years of momentum behind them). They tend to do so by buying niche players - small car and technology companies that have proven (or nearly proven) themselves.

I don't think Tesla is going to be bought up but I wouldn't discount the legacy car and oil companies from surviving.

I keep reading of a "climate crisis", and yet cannot see first hand any actual manifestation of it outside of the newspaper headlines. There is a covid crisis going on, and I can see that well, affects me personally, affects the economy, affects the country. A climate crisis? Absolutely not. There are climate-connected adverse events here and there in the world, some with higher frequency than in the past, but do these collect together into a global "climate crisis"? I certainly don't see it.
Diesel (rust)

Also it's maybe notably by a (former?) maintainer of ActiveRecord, though, I haven't really used RoR but I think the design is probably quite different - Diesel is very much just the SQL with a veneer of Rust, almost FFI wrapper like.

I frequently have a clearer idea of the SQL I want (I'm certainly no DB expert) and have to make it at least twice as long, install a plugin, or in some cases just can't mangle it into Django. For what?

It sounds really ironic to compare Brownie (which was a success through its cheap price) with iPhone which is essentially the most expensive camera device in its class (which for the most of the world remains exclusive for the upper middle class).

It's also silly to ascribe this trend to iPhone alone. Camera phones were in heavy use before iPhone showed up.

Agreed on all fronts. They've also integrated residential solar directly into the car business in a way that was poorly understood then and still is now.

Also, OTA updates. Its a terrifying concept, but going to the dealership to get your car's firmware flashed is as archaic as boxed software. As more automakers move in that direction, their attention to detail with security is going to be under a microscope. Tesla managed to capture the magic of waking up to an upgraded car, and hasn't has too many security nightmares to keep people away.

The risk is priced. That's the excess interest (above the risk-free rate) embedded in the asset value.

I should also add that it's not the case that the bank "no longer has" the money lent out. The bank doesn't actually move money from some depositor to the borrower. The bank credits the borrower's account with money created from nothing, and it feels comfortable doing so because there is the asset backing it. The Federal Reserve doesn't have to be directly involved at this stage. It allows banks to do this as long as capital requirements are satisfied.

The problem with encapsulation in OOP, is that the (mutable) state is not truly encapsulated, it is just hidden. State encapsulation would be a pure function that uses mutation internally. OOP encourages mutable state and in general it is non-trivial to compose such effectful code. The state space of an OOP application can become a combinatorial explosion. This might be what you want if you are modelling something with emergent complexity, e.g. a simulation or game, but doesn't sound good for a line-of-business app.

As an anecdote, I once saw a stack overflow reply from a distinguished OOP engineer advocating for modelling a bank account with an object containing a mutable balance field! That is certainly not modelling the domain (an immutable ledger). OOP might fit some problems well, but the cult of presenting it as the one-true-way (made concrete in 90's Java) is deserving of a backlash IMHO.

> Wouldn't it be more explicit if there was a designated keyword that objects could use to access their own members

Not really. You end up implicitly injecting some value into local namespaces instead of having a function that takes an argument.

I agree with that in the same way that I agree with strong anti-monopolistic laws, and with the expanded understanding of de-facto monopoly where (for example) Apple/iOS is one despite billions of Android devices.

All you can reasonably ask a normal company is that they do not act to harm society in their pursuit of profit. And they may argue that they believe the dynamic of WSB is harmful to society.

(I do believe that WSB may grow to become clearly harmful, but I'm not sure they're there yet)
